comparing Lysacek with Plushenko is a laugh.
even with Plushenko's injury and had worst at that than compared to Evan, we was still in better contention

Lysacek has almost zero chance of even returning pulling out of SA and I am 100% sure he wont show up at Nationals unless he wants to get embarassed
, Plushenko even half ready will be contending for a medal especially in Team

[QUOTE=golden411;765393]Never got around to asking you before, IcyEdges:

- Don't understand how comments from Frank Carroll could be "hearsay." Surely Carroll has direct knowledge of Lysacek's status.
- And are you saying that you know more about Lysacek than Carroll does?

No Golden, I wasn't saying that what FRANK said was hearsay. I was saying that everyone was jumping to conclusions on what Phil was "reporting". All that Frank said was that he was concerned because the "clock is ticking and Evan needs a qualifying score" before Jan 27th, 2014 deadline.

Frank, as the top notch coach that he is, has all right to be concerned about Evan making a qual score. But seriously, people are taking something Phil tweets or writes and are using that as a tool to say...well...there goes Evan he's done, let's dismiss him! Did Frank say he's done? Did the Lysacek camp say it's done? No..therefore people, please stop reading into a simple common quote for this situation from Frank as anything more than a simple statement.

Public speculation is blowing this out of proportion. That's all I'm saying.
